If the editor didn't trust the data, why did they publish?
The people who keep informed on their field (aka "in the know") would then be tainted because they would likely believe a journal would vet the data, process, and researchers before publication.
Unless you mean "in the know" in that they know the entire publishing system is a scam... and the ripples from that are huge.
- topspin 5y ago"If the editor didn't trust the data, why did they publish?" They're in on it. Without material the journals have nothing to publish. So their inclination is to accept and publish with as little friction as possible. Publish or Die. Remember? That applies to the whole supply chain, not just poor put upon individual researchers.
